Xi’s draft policy calls for stricter discipline, tougher anti-corruption enforcement and closer scrutiny of officials who fail to deliver on Beijing’s priorities.
- On Monday, Chinese President Xi Jinping opened a four-day plenum in Beijing to strengthen Communist Party discipline and deepen his anti-corruption campaign.
- Xi introduced a draft policy aimed at "full and rigorous party self-governance," according to Xinhua News Agency, emphasizing "self-revolution" to root out "formalism" and "bureaucratism."
- Observers anticipate record-low turnout of less than 80% this week, with 42 out of 44 military officials elected to the Central Committee in 2022 now purged or disappeared.
- Xi warned against "two-faced people" who profess loyalty while privately defying orders, according to an October article in the Qiushi Journal, demanding officials remain consistent in word and deed.
- The plenum positions Xi for an unprecedented fourth term in 2027; Ruby Osman of the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change noted the crackdowns prioritize institutional longevity over elite purges.
